CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED ZONING ORDINANCE This is a continuation from December 22, 1981, because two Councilmembers were absent at that meeting and a vote could not be taken that night. The Mayor opened the Public Hearing and asked if anyone was present and wanted to be heard. A time limit of 10 minutes was set for public comments. Harvey Rader was present and asked a question about the differences in the front yard setbacks in Section 1604.5 and 1605.5.

LAW ENFORCEMENT LABOR SERVICES (LELS) CONTRACT FOR 1982 The City Manager explained that the contract being submitted is the product of his and the Police Chief's negotiations with the Police Supervisors and their representatives in 2 separate negotiating sessions. Both the Police Chief and the City Manager feel that the contract has been tightened up in a number of areas that had given the City problems in the past. The Union agreed to the 1982 salary freeze as part of the grievance settlements and every section of that settlement has been integrated into the 1982 Contract. POlice Chief Wold was present to answer any questions the Council had on the Contract. Councilmember Swenson asked how mnay men will be on the force when Officer Fisher leaves. Wold answered: 7 patrol officers; 2 supervisors (1 of patrol and 1 of investigation); 1 chief; or a total of 10. The City Manager and the Police Chief went over all' the changes in the 1982 Contract.

The vote on Resolution #81-405 was unanimously in favor. Motion carried. The Mayor thanked Police Chief Wold and the City Manager for their efforts and achievements in the work on this Contract. CITY PROSECUTOR APPOINTMENT The City Manager explained that since the feedback from the Police Dept., the City Council and some citizens was that the City could do better with regard to its criminal prosecution efforts an effort was made to look fora new attorney. Two persons haying the required previous experience and knowledge of the local courts were interviewed by a screening committee consisting of 2 Police Officers, the Police Chief, two Councilmembers and the City Manager. The screening committee has recommended the appointment of Ms. Desyl Peterson, of the firm of Popham, Haik, Schnobrich, Kaufman & Doty, Ltd. She is also the Prosecuting Attorney for the Cities of Orono and Minnetrista. Councilmember Swenson moved and Charon seconded the following resolution. RESOLUTION #81-406 RESOLUTION APPOINTING MS.

Councilmember Polston moved and Ulrick seconded the adoption of the following Ordinance. ORDINANCE #422 AN ORDINANCE REPEALING SECTION 5A.05 OF THE CITY CODE RELATING TO THE CITY CLERK AND CITY TREASURER The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried. APPOINTMENT OF THE CITY CLERK AND CITY TREASURER Councilmember Charon moved and Swenson seconded the following resolution. RESOLUTION #81-408 RESOLUTION APPOINTING FRAN CLARK AS CITY CLERK AND JUDITH FISHER AS CITY TREASURER The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried. REPORT ON CITY WELL NO. 5 Greg Skinner, Water Superintendent, was present to explain that Well #5 has been out for quite some time and now Well #7 went out several weeks ago. The City has asked for quotations on repairing Well #7 and has received two: a. Bergerson-Caswell, Inc. at $7,376.44 and b. Stevens Well Drilling Co., Inc. at $6,522.00. A motion was made by Councilmember Polston and seconded by Councilmember Swenson to accept the quote of Stevens Well Drilling in the amount of $6,522.00 to repair We]! #7. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried. In regard to Well #5, Greg did not recommend repairing this well as they have done it before and it only lasts a short period of time before going out again due to the iron in the water. Also it is only a 300 gallon per minute (g.p.m.) pump and that i's not enough capacity for the Island Park area. The recommendation of the Water Dept. is to drill a new well in Island Park even without a storage area. The City Manager then brought up the fact that the County is now 95% sure that they will not be repairing the Black Lake Bridge in 1982 and the County will not approve the Mound-Spring Park Water Connection and be responsible for disconnecting and re-connecting it when they do perform the repair work. The Council then discussed going ahead with the Spring Park water connection and absorbing the costs of disconnect and re-connect when the County repairs the bridge. They then discussed 207 December 29, 1981 drilling a new well to replace Well #5 in Island Park. Since there was an agreement with Spring Park on the Black Lake Bridge Connection, the Council felt they should check with Spring Park and see if they would have any objections to us not hooking up at this time and using ~he money we would be putting into that connection into drilling a new well in Island Park. The cost in 1980 for a 750 g.p.m, well was approximately $132,OOO. The City Manager will check with Spring Park for their reaction to our not hooking up the water connection on Cty. Rd. 125. Councilmember Polston moved and Charon seconded the following resolution. RESOLUTION #81-409 RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ENGINEER, EUGENE A. HICKOK ASSOCIATES, TO CHECK ON PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR DRILLING A NEW WELL IN ISLAND PARK. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried. PARKING PLAN FOR MOUND BAY PARK Police Chief Wold was present and explained that up to this point there were conflicting parking signs in the parking lot at the Park. He has worked out a plan for parking and parking signs and has been in contact with the owner of the Surfside which abuts this property and they have no objections to his proposed parking plan. Councilmember Charon moved and Ulrick seconded the following Ordinance. ORDINANCE #423 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 46, Section 46.29, Subsection (c), #4 OF THE CITY CODE RELATING TO PARKING IN THE MOUND BAY PARK PARKING LOT The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried. PEDESTRIAN SAFETY PLAN FOR DOWNTOWN The Police Chief presented his plans for pedestrian safety in the downtown area. l. o Increased patrol activity in the downtown area to enforce pedestrian safety, contacting both pedestrians and drivers in violation. Possible stationing someone at the mid-block crosswalk to warn pedestrians about the hazards they cause for themselves. Continued press releases to The Laker urging restraint on behalf of both pedestrians and drivers. LEAGUE OF CITIES LEGISLATIVE CONFERENCE The City Manager reported that this is one of the best conferences the League has each year and asked who on the Council is planning on attending. Charon, Polston, Swenson and Lindlan are planning on it for sure and Ulrlck will let the City Manager know if he will be attending. WETLAND ORDINANCE DRAFT The City Manager presented the first draft of the Wetlands Ordinance to the Council and asked that they make any recommendations they have to the Wetland Committee. The Council then thanked Phyllis Jessen, Roy O'Donnell Gary Paulson and Margaret Hanson for their work on this draft. 2O8 December 29, 1981 INFORMATION/MISCELLANEOUS DOWNTOWN STUDY - The Mayor suggested going over the Committee's conclusions at the January 9th Planning Meeting and then setting up a joint meeting with the Committee.

Sec. 429.011 to 429.111. This proposed lot will create an estimated 30 parking spaces and will be fully hard surfaced and drained. The estimated cost of such improvement is $20,000.00. The area proposed to be assessed for such improvements is all the property abutting. The maintenance cost of this lot will be added into the overall Central Business District Annual Assessment Program. Such persons as desire to be heard with reference to the proposed improvements will be heard at this meeting. A proposed plan is available for your prior review.

The first one, labeled just "Proposed Parking Lot" shows the areas of ownership and the area the way it is now, with existing gravel area shaded and the existing bituminous parking lot shown. Alternate A shows one scheme for developing parking in this area and results in 30 parking stalls and makes better use of steep areas with better sight distances to those crossing the parking lot and better sight distances for backing out of the stalls. Alternate B is much the same thing except that it provides 36 stalls, however, five of these are very steep and would be fairly inconvenient to use. So essentially, from either plan you get about 30 or 31 good parking stalls convenient to the convenience stores, laundry, and pharmacy if they were to provide access to the store from the rear. Alternate Plan B obviously gets more cars a lot closer to the store and from that standpoint, may offer advantages. It certainly offers the advantage of more parking stalls than they had in the front. There are other details we should discuss, the pros and cons of the layout, but this will give you the basic idea. To give you a cost of the project, we have included the excavating and grading and have come up with a total cost of about $20,000. There may be a question of Minneapolis - Hutchinson - Alexandria - Eagan printed on recycled paper Mr. Jon Elam September 14, 1981 Page Two i, whether you need curb and gutter around the entire parking lot, and eliminating the curb and gutter could reduce the cost by $4,000 to $5,000. Again, these are details that can be discussed if the community is interested in proceeding further with either of these proposals. WHM: lar Enc los ure s Very truly yours, McCOMBS-KNUTSON ASSOCIATES, INC. William H. McCombs, P.E. prinled on recycled paper ,545 Indian Mound Wayzata, Minnesota 55391 (612) 473-4224 December 8, 1981 Mr. Jon Elam, City Manager City of Mound 5341 Maywood Road Mound, Minnesota 55364 Re: Mound-Spring Park Water Connection - Bid Tabulation Dear Jon: Enclosed herewith please find two (2) copies of the Bid Tabulation relative to kids received on December 8, 1981, for the Mound-Spring Park Water Connection Project. Crossings, Inc., with a total kid of $43,197.00 is the low kidder, having underbid Widmer Bros., Inc. by $19,178.00. The Engineer's Estimate for this project was $73,250.00. We have just recently completed a project for the City of Fridley, Minnesota, in which Crossings, Inc. was the contractor. I can assure you that Crossings, Inc. did a very fine job and completed the project ahead of schedule. Assuming that the Hennepin County Department of Transportation proceeds with the bridge replacement this coming spring, I herewith recommend that a contract be awarded to Crossings, Inc. for the Mound-Spring Park Water Connection. If, however, the County postpones the bridge construction as rumored, then the City has two options. First, the water connection could be postponed (cancelled) until the new bridge is constructed or second, the water connection project can proceed immediately with the new piping suspended from the present b~idge. If and when the County proceeds with the new ~ridge it would be their responsibility to .relocate the water main which would ~e installed under this project. Mr. Jon Elam Page Two December 8, 1981 In view of the fact that we can retain each contractor's proposal for a period of thirty (30) days we do have some time to fully discuss the options available. In this respect I suggest a meeting be arranged with the Cities of Mound, Hennepin County Department of Transportation and E. A. Hickok and Associates in attendance. Sincerely, EUGE~ A.

Since the opening on October 23, 1981, the City has received several complaints of a nuisance type, regarding the Arcade. They have failed to install a bike rack and to submit a list of the machines operating in the Arcade (until just this week). They did violate the hours provision at least once that we know of. The main problem that exists though, is having a teen hangout in the area. Groups of youths have left the area littered, have taken apart a child's bike and hung it in parts from the telephone pole along our pump house and generally the managements lack of control of the behavior of the people who hang around outside the facility. It is the Staff's recommendation that if there is a way not to renew the Arcade License in this location, we do so even if this includes refunding the unused portions of the fees paid on all machines and games.

Our registration fee is $15.00 per year and each registration terminates on January 1. The kicker is that the longer the plumber waits to renew the License, the cheaper it is. Since our fee is only $15.00 and is not being increased, I would like to delete the last section of Chapter 26, Section 26.61-A. "Where the term of the registration is less than a year~ the fee shall be prorated with a minimum of $5.00." By doing this, it makes it consistent with our other License Ordinances which are on an annual basis, i.e., dog, etc. JE:fc Division 2 Chapter 26 - Part D SECTION 26.60 ~ermit Re~uired,'Fees. .No. person shall install or make 'substantial repairs or additions to plumbing, sewage disposal, or.sewage connection systems without first securing a permlt for such installatlon, repair or addition.- There shall be a minimum fee of $15.00 for the permit for inside plumbing plus $2.00 for each ~lumbinjL~_~xture; and there shall be a fee of $15.00 for each permit or ~onnecti°n to the public sanitary sewer system.

TO: Mayors, Managers and Clerks FROM: Donald Slater, Executive Director Peggy Flicker, Legislative Counsel ACTION NEEDED NOW[TO SOLVE BUDGET CRISIS I The DFL'majorities in both houses of the Legislature are in the process of passing a tax bill to send to the Governor. The conference committee is expected to begin meeting Friday. The DFL currently plans to pass an omnibus bill which would include provisions for local government tax increases, property tax increases in the form of homestead credit reductions (Senate only), spending and aid cuts, and a solution ~t~ the state's cash flow problem. The aid cuts currently contained in the DFL bills are less than those recommended by the Governor: $20 million in the Senate, $22.8 million in the House, com- pared with the Governor's recommended $56 millic~n cut. (Since the cut comes in 1982 aids, the Gover~ nor's proposal would result in a 20.7% cut in 1982 ~.GA.) Neither the Governor, the Senate, or the House rec..ommendation would allow cities to recertlfy their 1982 levies. The Governor has indicated that he w!ll veto any bit! whic. h modifies income tax indexing. Thus, if the bill passed by the Legislature is construed by the Governor to tamper with indexing, the entire package could be vetoed. If that happens, the Governor may call another special legislative session before the end of the year. i Regardless of the outcome of the political wrangling on indexing, it is essential that city officials contact their legislators immediately (by telephone - they :will be available over the weekend) and urge them to: 1. Gi~a~ntee th~ ~a~)meht o~the delayed November and December, 1981 aid and credit payments. If such legislation is passed before December 31, cities would be able to treat these payments as receiv- able, and thus balance their 1981 budgets, and to borrow against the aids if necessary. If it is not passed, Minnesota ~iti~s' bond ratings and financial standing would be greatly damaged. (H.F. 1 and S.F. 12 would solve this problem, whether passed separately or incorporated into an omnibus bill.) 2. Solve the'S;~a~e~ cash flo'W ~rbblem. (A'guarantee of p~ment of '81 aids is meaningless unless the cash flow problem is Sol~/ed, so that the Promise can b.e fulfilled.) This requires increased short-term bor- rowing authority for the state, and repeal of the law which prohibits the Governor from cutting or delaying school aid payments. (Comment. The DFL has made a strategic decision to package their solution in one omnibus bill - in- cluding cuts in appropriations, state tax increases, and items 1 and 2 above. However, a veto is highly hkely s~nce ~t now appears that the Legislature s bdl wdl include mdex,ng mod,flcat~ons. Therefore, you ,.. . (OVER) ~100 hanover building, 480 oedar street, saint paul, minnesota 55101 C612) 222-2861 should insist that the Legislature and Governor mast at least act on items 1 and :2 before December 31. The financial standing of all Minnesota cities woul~l be greatly damaged if these issues are lost as part of the politics of the broader issues of cuts and tax ir~¢~eases.) Cities should also urge legislators to: 3. Oppose any local government aid cut of more than $20 million. 4. Support a state tax increase to solve part of the :e's deficit.

According to Interpretation 3,the receivable must be received within sixty (60) days of year end (December 31, 1981) to be considered revenue for 1981. It would not be possible for a city to record this revenue for 1981 unless there is legislation requiring payment by February 28. 1982. The timing of this legislation is very important. Itwould be preferable if enacted by December 31 but it should not be enacted later than the ~nd of January as many cities' financial reports are completed by then or in early February~ and they would not include the revenue in 1981. The exclusion .of the revenue for 1981 financial'statements could result in several serious reporting conditions; such as: 1. The General Fund and other funds could be in a deficit financial position, 2. Debt service funds ~ou]d reflect that revenues were not adequate to cover the current year's debt service payments, 3- The property tax collectionswere substantially below the normal collection ratio for the city. SenaLor '' Dec~nber 23~ 1981 Page 2 If legislation is not enacted by early 1982, some cities could be excluding the rcvenue, and others, who prepare their statements later, could possibly include the revenue. This would cause utter confm~ion for third parties who use the statements for rating cities and other purposes. If you have any questions regarding thls matter, please contact me.

Because exact information is unavailable in many cases, some of the figures pre- sented are estimates, averages, or studied opinions. For example, 1981 population es- timates, percentage of population change from 1970, population projec- tions for 1990 and average household size are taken t~m Metropolitan Coun- cil data~ which is based on the 1970 and 1980 censuses. Nevertheless, a glance at the "percentage-of-popu- lation-change-since-1970" column gives a good indication ofwhere growth is occuring in the metropolitan area. How other figures were arrived at is described below. Average income The average gross income for Min- nesota communities is published an- nually by the Minnesota Department of Revenue. The 1979 gross income (the most recent available) is highest in the St. Paul suburb of North Oaks-- $37,618. White Bear Lake, another St. Paul suburb(is next--7.$26,749.

Average sales price Sales prices of homes are coileeted by the Minneapolis and St. Paul area Boards of Realtors according to des- ignated geographic districts. Real es- tate districts can be found in the classified ads of the daily newspapers Under a district number and geographic area. Many districts include more than one city, but within Minneapolis and St. Paul, a district may comprise as little as one neighborhood. Where a district includes more than one community, each community with-.. in that designation is assigned a com- mon average selling price. Sometimes f.~s grouping of ¢ornnaunities will significantly affect the averages. For example, Yadnais Height3, Little Can- ada and North Oaks are in the same district. The average selling price of the combined communities is$1i5,737. In fact, the average selling Price is much higher for North Oaks and somewhat lower for the other two year, according to the _annual Citizens League survey. This continues a trend which began in 1977. The League found that Jordan has the highest estimated tax on a $68,000 home- stead, as it did in last .year's League survey. The estimates are designed chiefly to illustrate .tlie relative dif- ference in taxes amisng selected cities and include city, school, county and special district levies, but not special communities. ~ School expenditures per pupil 'p~Operty tax6$ : ..... i, - The district ~XPe~di~ur~ per pupil ::~::' ~'?~:':"~: ':":~ ::(~ unit used here is a combination of11 Home°wn, ers are enjoying a siight categories not including capital e~- reduction in property taxes from last penditures and d~bt service.

ENCE Mr. Jori Elam City Manager City of Mound 5341Maywood Road Mound, Minnesota 55364 Dear Mr. Elam: I wanted to take this opportunity to share some good news with you regarding Internal Revenue Ruling 81-58. As you know, this ruling would have removed your relief organization from the exempt status you now have as a social welfare organization under Section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Internal Revenue Service in Washington contacted my office this morning to advise that they have ruled favorably in Mankato Fire Association's behalf. This application was considered a "trial" case and all Minnesota associations should maintain their exempt status under Section 501(c)(4). I am very pleased to be able to bring you this good news and to have had this opportunity to be of service to you. As you may know, I originally contacted the IRS in September regarding this issue and have since written to the President and sent a Minnesota delegation letter to the Commissioner of IRS on your behalf. I intend to introduce legislation which will amend the Internal Revenue Code to include police and fire relief organizations to assure that you will not be again threatened in the future. Hopefully, this legislation will be introduced sometime in January. I will, of course, keep you posted on the progress. Should you have problems clarifying your status with the St. Paul Internal Revenue Office, please do not hesitate to contact me for assistance. I am enclosing a press release on this subject which you may wish to post for the benefit of all your members. With best regards, I am Sincerely, T]']/no Congressman TOM ItAGEDO 2nd Congressional District, Minnesota For immediate release Dec. 16, 1981 POLICE, FIRE TAX RULING PRAISED BY HAGEDORN WASHINGTON -~ Minnesota's 626 local police and fire relief associations will maintain their federal tax exempt status under a new Internal Revenue Service ruling, according to an announcement Wednesday by 2nd District Rep. Tom Hagedorn.(R-Minn.). Hagedorn was informed this week that the Mankato Fire Association, in a trial case, could keep their tax exempt status under Section 501(c) (4) of the IRS code. An IRS ruling effective on Aug. 23 of this year threatened to bar volunteer and salaried police and fire relief associations from the continued use of the exemption because their primary activity of providing retirement payments and death benefits to members does not qualify as a social welfare organization. "The men and women who serve on police and fire departments contribute a priceless service to our communities, and should be protected from having their retirement and death benefit funds from being unjustly taxed," said Hagedorn. The original ruling to eliminate the tax exempt status was protested in an Oct. 22 letter from Hagedorn to the President as discriminatory {owards the associations and contrary to the renewed commitment to volunteerism. Hagedorn also gathered the signature of all 10 members of the Minnesota Congressional delegation in a Nov. 13 letter of oppos{tion to the IRS Commissioner in Washington. To insure that the tax exempt status will not be threatened in the future, Hagedorn said he will introduce legislation to amend the tax code to include police and fire relief organizations.

In attendance were: School Board Members Bame, Chelberg, Goblirsch, Howells, Mayer, Pellett and Tuttle; Dr. Fisher, Superintendent; Dr. Steven- son, Asst. Supt. for Personnel & I~struction; Mr. Brandenburg, Asst. Supt. for Budget & Planning; and representatives of staff, community and press. Chairman Mayer extended a welcome to those in attendance and announced an opportunity for anyone wishing to address the board. Donna Smith presented Federation views of the budget-cut list and requested more detailed information regarding the instruction and co-curricular cuts be made available prior to public hearing; stated opposition to fund balance; and, requested a second public hearing before budget cuts were acted on at the January meeting. John Kunz expressed disapproval regarding the mention of the six hour day in the budget-cut cover document. Member Tuttle reviewed activities at recent local MSBA convention and announced that a copy of the delegate assembly resolutions with each resolution marked as to passage or failure is available (at Central Administration) for anyone wishing to review it. Clerk Chelberg moved that the school board approve as presented the minutes of the Regular School Board Meeting of November 9, 1981 and Special School Board Meeting of November 23, 1981; second by Howells. No discussion followed. Roll call vote unanimously approved the motion with all members present. Chelberg moved and Pellett seconded the motion to approve as presented the current financial documents and Treasurer's reports indicating present balances.* There was no discussion. A roll call vote indicated unanimous approval with all members present. Chelberg moved that the School Board approve the personnel transactions recommended by the Superintendent.* Tuttle seconded. Dr. Fisher noted that an amended resolution had been sent to Board Members. Howells moved to table the amendment since the amendment had not reached them prior to the meeting. No second was available on the move to table. Chair declared move to table failed for lack of a second. Mayer moved to amend resolution by adding "EMPLOYMENT-MARGARET SCHROEDER- incumbent contract".* Second by Tuttle. Dr. Stevenson was asked to review the reason for employment. Move to amend was approved unanimously on roll call vote with all members present. Discussion on the amended motion followed regarding the practice of the board giving employment approval "after the fact" particularly in the case of maternity leaves. On roll call vote, members unanimously approved the amended resolution with all members present. ...cont... q~ School Board Minutes -2- December 14, 1981 CHAMBER OF COHHERCE DUES VAN BID Chelberg moved to take from the table the resolution regarding payment of dues to the Chamber of Commerce. Mayer seconded. No discussion on move to take from table. A roll call vote indicated unanimous approval to remove the item from the table. Discussion regarding the original motion centered around the personal opinions as to support for the Chamber of Commerce and the work it is doing as well as the opinion received from legal counsel. It was noted that the Board appreciates the support it has received from Chamber members but indicated that the financial con- ditions dictate that the Board cannot support such an expense at this time. On roll call vote, the motion was defeated unanimously with all members present. Following the vote, Chairman Mayer requested that Dr. Smith assure the Chamber that the no-vote did not in any way indicate a lack of support for the group but was simply a matter of fiscal responsi- bility. It was suggested that perhaps board members might wish to become associate members on an individual basis in lieu of district participation. Chelber~ moved that the school board accept the low bid of St. Boni Ford, Inc. in an amount of $10,685 for one Ford Model El50 van*. Tuttle seconded the motion. Discussion centered around the "real need" for purchasing another van, and van vs economy car for transporting special education students. It was noted that it was a replacement, not an addition, and that several co-curricular groups can use a van instead of a bus at a cost savings. On roll call vote, the motion was passed unanimously with all members present. BUDGET CUT RECOMMEN- DATIONS COMMENTS Dr. Fisher presented the budget cut recommendations generated by district administration with an accompanying letter from the whole administrative team. He indicated that there was no "presentation" planned for the public hearing but that administrators would be on hand to answer any questions. The chairman directed Mr. Goblirsch to put his question relative to "implementation of elementary and secondary instruction" in writing to Dr. Fisher. The chairman indicated that after the public hearing on December 21, it would be determined whether or not an additional hearing would be required; if so, the date would then be set for either January 4th or prior to the regular January llth Board Meeting. Ms. Tuttle presented ~hat she felt to be some good budget cutting ideas which could possibly be implemented as soon as January, 1982, if approved. Her ideas included change of starting times; cancelling school board member salaries; assigning all full time teachers to 6 hours of teaching time; and dropping membership in MSBA and AMSD. The Chairman thanked her for her ideas but no action was taken. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was declared adjourned at 9:30 p.m. Patricia C. Chelberg, SCHOOL BOARD CLERK F~ary K.

I enclose a copy of that part of Chapter 219, Laws of Minnesota for 1981, which is applicable. Pursuant to that statute, I have tried to prepare a summary of the zoning ordinance consistent with the provisions of the statute. Please review and if you find this in order, it can be presented to the City Council and a 4/5ths vote is n~cessary authori~i-ng the printing of this..summary. The ~tel~tiv~ ko t~e CoUncil in not printing the summary would be to print the entire ordinance which would cost you a ntial amount of mone_z. It also provides for printing ing ma~,an--~f~-probably should be some heading on this advising the citizens to observe the map because that in effect will regulate all properties in the community. If you have any questions or comments either about the resolution, the summary, or the new bill, please advise. CAP:Ih Enclosure Very truly yoursz.,~ Curtis A.
